NXP Semiconductors JN5189 high performance and ultra-low power MCU

The JN5189/88 is designed to power the next generation of very low current wireless devices, supporting Zigbee 3.0, Thread, and IEEE 802.15.4. Powered by Cortex®-M4 at up to 48 MHz with 640 KB flash and 152 KB SRAM, enough for complex applications and Over-the-Air (OTA) upgrade capability. JN5189T/88T has an integrated NFC NTAG to implement contactless NFC commissioning, simplifying the network build-out while saving energy and increasing security. It has a rich set of peripherals and multiple communication interfaces for connected applications, including SPIFI, to extend non-volatile memory.
